Enrolling now for 2013!
We are excited to be back for our fourth summer. We are especially looking forward to our Longboard/Skimboard Design Camp where students will design and build their own longboard or skimboard!
Check out this article about last summers camp:
Longboard Design Camp
Cruise on down to the
SHW this July and join our exclusive Longboard Design Camp. Under the
guidance of Richard Pierce, founder of Wilmington's own Stolen Longboards, students
will learn each of the steps in creating authentic wooden longboards. They will begin with an overview of the
entire process and be able to study the board in various stages of completion.
Soon after, they will be reviewing various shapes currently in use and decide
what styles will work best for their own full scale templates and boards. They will continue working with the
instructor throughout the week, experimenting with procedures and techniques
and bringing their designs to life. Some
aspects will be automated to ensure safety and accuracy, while others will be
done completely freehand to reflect the creativity and skills of the
student. Days will include instruction
in both design and woodworking in order to create a strong foundation in each
element of this dynamic process. By the
end, participants will not only walk away with a beautiful, custom-made board,
complete with top of the line components, but also the skills, knowledge, and
confidence that go along with creating something entirely with their own hands.
